> Fix the most common WordPress connection and publish failures.

Quick checks

1. Site URL includes `https://` and no trailing path errors.
2. Application Password is current and belongs to a publisher-capable user.
3. REST API is reachable at `/wp-json/`.
4. The content item is editorially ready (approved when required).
5. Categories/destinations still exist on the WordPress side.

Common symptoms

• 401/403 — credentials or capabilities.
• 404 on REST — permalinks/REST blocked by host security.
• Published without SEO meta — Yoast meta not exposed to REST.
• Wrong site — workspace integration pointing to another environment.

Next step

Re-test the integration, publish a draft, then verify the post in WordPress admin.
